Documentary maker Sibel Tekin will appear before a judge today, Thursday, at 11.45am in Ankara. She has been accused of "membership in a terrorist organization".

Friends and the Dicle and Firat Journalists Association called on everyone to follow the trial to ensure justice.

Sibel Tekin was arrested at her home in Ankara in mid-December. The detention was motivated by the recording of a police van while shooting a documentary about climate change. Police searched her apartment, confiscated two computers, hard disks, a camera and several books.
